standard hunting loads to allow for this
break-in period.



Allow me to repeat;

Shoot some heavy loads (I used/patterned turkey loads) to break-in your SBE II, so it can then cycle the lightest loads well.
Be careful! Many of today's Turkey Loads are designed to maximum capabailties of our shotguns and clearly is NOT a STANDARD hunting load.
3 to 4 boxes of #4 shot to #6 shot high brass I can see.

3 to 4 boxes of 3.5 inch Turkey rounds used all in one time will knock you into the next century.

Informing a potential new user to do just that? Man.......do be careful.
